“Amazon has overtaken Walmart to claim the No. 1 spot on the Fortune 500, ending the retailer’s 13-year run at the top of the annual ranking of America’s biggest companies by revenue. The latest list, based on fiscal 2025 revenue, puts Amazon in the top spot, followed by Walmart and UnitedHealth Group. The shakeup marks the first time since 2013 that Walmart has not held the No. 1 position on the Fortune 500. Amazon generated roughly $717 billion in revenue during the most recent reporting period, narrowly surpassing Walmart’s $713 billion. UnitedHealth Group rounded out the top three with $447.6 billion in revenue.” (06/03/26)

“South Korean voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots for the ruling Democratic Party in nationwide local elections Wednesday, exit polls said, in a show of support for President Lee Jae Myung one year into his term. Lee’s Democratic Party was projected to win 11 of the 16 key races in Wednesday’s elections, according to a joint poll conducted by broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS. The opposition People Power Party was projected to take only one seat, while four races were too close to call. A separate poll by broadcaster JTBC found the Democratic Party projected to win 10 of the key races. The vote was the first nationwide test since Lee took office last June, when he won the presidency in a snap election after former President Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from office over his botched martial law attempt.” (06/03/26)

“President Trump saw his first major primary loss of the 2026 midterm election cycle in Iowa’s Republican gubernatorial primary Tuesday as businessman Zach Lahn defeated Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa). Lahn narrowly defeated Feenstra in the primary by just less than 1 point.

The congressman told supporters Tuesday that he called Lahn to concede the race to him on Tuesday. … While Feenstra won the coveted Trump endorsement, Lahn was backed by Trump allies within the conservative universe, including the MAHA PAC and Turning Point Action. Most of Trump’s endorsed candidates have seen success in the 2026 primary season, with his backed challengers Rep.

- The freedom to question requires the duty to prove
Source: Students For Liberty
by Les Affranchis“There is a particular intellectual posture that has become distinctly fashionable at the edges of the liberty movement. It goes roughly like this: a public figure makes a contested empirical claim. Experts in the relevant field find the claim unsupported by the available evidence and say so. The figure, rather than producing better evidence, reframes the disagreement as persecution and blames ‘the establishment’ for it. Sympathetic bystanders, some of them part of the pro-liberty movement, often rally to the outsiders’ defense, not because they sincerely agree with the underlying evidence, but because they see an outsider being criticized ‘by the establishment.’ The liberty tradition, they argue, must side with the outsider, regardless of evidence. Such reasoning is unpersuasive and it may come at a reputational cost for the pro-liberty movement.” (06/03/26)

Trump wanted a way to argue that Iran had accepted terms from him that Obama never managed to extract, aides told us. … He may be content to simply wait rather than do a deal that invites unflattering comparisons to one that already existed — and which didn’t come at the cost of 13 U.S. service members and at least 1,700 Iranian civilians, tens of billions of dollars, the depletion of U.S. munitions stockpiles, and a global energy crisis.” (06/03/26)

In countries that use such systems, control of the government is determined by winning seats in parliament: The party or coalition that holds the majority of seats holds the levers of power. Given the large number of countries using a parliamentary system, one would expect widespread rampant gerrymandering. Yet many have installed checks and balances to prevent such egregious partisan actions. The nation’s northern neighbor sets an example that is worth emulating. Canada uses a parliamentary system for its government. To prevent gerrymandering that gives one party advantages on Election Day, Canada uses small independent commissions that work to keep the influence of elections in the hands of the voters, not the politicians.” (06/03/26)

It remains to be seen how much of that investment will be reflected in property tax totals, but since the largest expense is going to be for the very expensive equipment in the data center itself — and that equipment is taxable — we can safely assume the assessed valuation of the final project will be enormous and almost certainly measured in the billions. This for a county that had an entire assessed valuation in 2025 of $315 million. Again, that’s every farm, house, car, tractor, building, boat, and cow in the county. … What do you think happens when you add huge assessed valuations from businesses that don’t add much to the public service requirements?
